The rate went from $0.48 to $0.54 in 2022, then to $0.59 in 2023, $0.64 in 2024, $0.69 in 2025 and $0.74 in 2026. The first raise in the table was six cents, or 12.5%, and each one since has been five cents, or roughly 7.3% to 9.3%. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 54%. Payments by calendar year rose from $2.10 in 2022 to $2.71 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend in mid-December 2026 and be paid in early January 2027. Past raises have come with the June payment, not the December one.
